Oh, that's disappointing! I bought some ages ago and am just getting around to fitting them now.

I feel properly deflated!

If you’ve got it apart then I’d fit them, they can’t do any harm, but from experience I wouldn’t strip the springs out just to fit them. They don’t make a noticeable difference from what I’ve found.

Quick question, as they look fairly solid, do they lift the vehicle?

I don’t think I’ve seen that mentioned, which may in turn be an issue for some people.

They do but only by about 8-10mm. You can only tell with a tape measure. Darren
